HDMI out is pretty common on the types of high end phones and tablets that this sort of chip would target. HDCP is long-since broken, so none of this matters to pirates unless the content people also force the device makers to kill HDMI out as a feature which seems untenable. But the pirates are just going to keep ripping the Bluray discs leaked out a month or more prior to retail release anyway since that's even easier. As with the vast majority of DRM, this will only fuck over legitimate users. Pirates will still download the torrent, whether it comes from a Bluray rip, captured HDMI or as a last resort the analog hole.
